Pssst — hey you!  Yes, you – the bridesmaid/baby shower thrower person/bride/new mommy/person throwing a birthday party/chocolate lover – I’m talking to you!  Check out this really cool idea for personalized party favors that your guests can appreciate (and devour!).  You can now create and customize your very own M&M’s from the comfort of your couch!  I created some online at the My M&Ms site for Little AG’s 2nd birthday (which is in a month — ahhh!) that have her picture on one side and cute little statements about her “Turning 2!” on the back!  The website makes it really, really simple to do, and I had the perfect M&M’s within minutes!  I even got to choose what colors I wanted!

The site also offers dozens of gift options to accompany the MY M&M’S, such as candy dispensers, decorative tins, and MLB-themed containers. And, new this year, MY M&M’S has even teamed up with Martha Stewart for ideas to make personalized gifts even more special. Each of Martha’s MY M&M’S personalized gift options provide easy step-by-step instructions.  Of course, personalization won’t come cheap – at $13 bucks for a decent-sized bag you’ll be shelling out some dough, but at least this is one keepsake that won’t collect dust on a shelf somewhere.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go dig through my pantry in search of chocolate.  This review made me hungry.
